Education and career
editShapiro graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1976, with a bachelor's degree in physics. She completed her Ph.D. in physics at the University of California, Berkeley in 1984 with her dissertation titled: Inclusive Distributions and Two Particle Correlations in Annihilation at 29 GeV Center-of-Mass Energy.[2]
After postdoctoral research at Harvard, she joined the Harvard University faculty as an assistant professor in 1987, and was Loeb Associate Professor there in 1989. She returned to Berkeley as a faculty member in 1990, and became affiliated with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a faculty senior scientist in 1992. She was promoted to professor at Berkeley in 1994, and has served as department chair from 2004 to 2007.[2]
Recognition
editIn 1992, Shapiro was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Division of Particles and Fields, "for contributions to the study of high-transverse-momentum phenomena in proton-antiproton collisions".[3] She was elected in 2020 to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[4]
